Early thoughts on the weekend. Snowfall map should NOT be taken verbatim - I actually think there'll be more in Northern MA/Southern NH than indicated (more like 5 or 6", perhaps???)...but I used these maps on-air this morning to drive home the point that snow WILL fall this weekend, even if a mix takes place. Timeframe is snow starts Saturday eve, mixes in Southern New England Saturday overnight, mixed precip may end as snow Sunday. TAKE-AWAY POINT: roofs must be cleared if significant snow still on them.

This snowfall map is likely significantly underdone in Northern MA/Southern NH and into Northern CT, where I expect closer to 5 or 6 inches, but the point is...snow WILL fall and accumulate Saturday eve and night (into Sunday in Northern New England):

Total *melted* precipitation amounts - falling as snow or at least some snow for many, but the point is our weight load on rooftops will increase dangerously Saturday night...so roofs must be cleared of substantial snow accumulation by Saturday evening:
